PESHAWAR (Parliament Times) – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Saturday decided to request the federal government not to deport deport Sharbat Gula, the National Geographicâ€™s iconic green-eyed â€˜Afghan girlâ€™.

Gula was sentenced to 15 days imprisonment and fined Rs110,000 by a special anti-corruption and immigration court in Peshawar on Friday for acquiring Pakistani Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) through forged papers.

She was arrested on October 26, 2016 from her home in Peshawar.

She will not be deported from Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government official Shaukat Yousafzai said.

The provincial home department has also stopped implementation of the decision to deport her.
